Tgp owners, submitters and gallery designers - inside!

Sometimes (actually a lot lately) i make simple galleries like this and came to the conclusion that:

1 Surfers hardly read any text on a gallery.
2 If they like the girl then the rest doesnt really matter (on the gallery page i mean, not the paysite)

Surfers are stupid but not totally stupid. If they simply like the girl (tiffany in this case) they will click the link. 1 + 1 is 2. I really doubt that the surfer is like "hmm do i like her yes or no, let me take 2 mins to read everything on the gallery page to decide if im gonna click or not)

Surfers cant be bothered reading long shit. They click 20 galleries in 3 mins and if they see something interesting on a certain gallery they click the first link they can find on the page.

Now the gallery used in the sleazydream testing looks ok. Nice gallery but the test showed the ctr was pretty poor. I personally think if that same gallery was made with 2 links and no other bs the ctr wouldve been (way) better. For some reason i think all the text and stuff going on actually might turn some surfers off. They might get the feeling they are pushed too much, its too screaming, it looks like one big ad, like the viagra shit i get in my spam folder.

Now i might be wrong, im not a tgp guru altho i have to say i know my galleries do convert well.

So i wonder what you guys opinion is on this. Lately ive noticed that it seems that designers are more worried about all the text and links and colors and how nice it looks instead of the actual gallery + content. I think 16 pics, a logo and 2 simple text links works perfectly fine. The sad thing is, i also tend to make them look very nice because otherwise tgp owners will reject me while this is quite useless if you ask me.
